| Andy Davies |
Davies is a very rare breed in the referee circles having been a professional football player for Gillingham, Portsmouth and Yeovil, before injury forced him to retire at the tender age of 28.
Not one to feel sorry for himself, Andy immediately through himself into becoming a ref and he graduated rapidly onto the National List in 2012 and two years later he was taking charge of Championship games.
Since becoming an EFL referee Andy
Davies has taken charge of 319 games, issued 1072 yellow and 53 red cards,
pointing to the penalty spot on 89 occasions.
Previous Games
This will be Andy Davies’ eleventh Latics game, his first was our Championship 2:2 draw against Wolves at Molineux in the 2014/15 season, our home 1:1 draw with West Brom in December 2019 was his last, in that game he awarded West Brom an indirect free kick 8 yards from our goal after Jamie Jones picked up the ball following a back pass by Kal Naismith. West Brom scored and the rest, as they say, is history.
Andy Davies’ most recent Birmingham City game came last season, a 1:2 home defeat to Blackburn in May. Davies booked just the one Blackburn player.

Looking forward to the Birmingham game at the weekend, trips to St Andrews always throw back to that FA Cup tie in 1978, Sir Alf Ramsey the Birmingham manager was impressed so much by the professionalism of the Latics that he actually canvased on our behalf at the Football League AGM, resulting in us gaining admission and becoming the first Northern club to be elected to the Football League since Workington in 1951.
We are joined by EFL pundit and Birmingham fan, Gab Sutton, who gives us the lowdown on everything we need to know about Saturday's opponents.
Up the tics!
